The PGY 4 and PGY 5 General Surgery residents had their second Mock Orals in May. Thanks to all the faculty, examinees, and administrative staff who helped ensure a successful event. We are in the process of setting dates for the next UNC Mock Orals this Fall, and we hope you will be able to participate.

2023 Career Development Grand Rounds included Geeta Lal, MD, MSc, FRCS(C), FACS, Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics, Division of Surgical Oncology and Endocrine Surgery from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine speaking about “Surgical Ergonomics: An Overlooked Component of Surgeon Wellness Finally Comes of Age”. We also welcomed Sunil Geevarghese, MD, MSCI, FACS, Associate Professor, Vice Chair for Education, Section of Surgical Sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center who spoke on “Caveat Chirurgus”. These were excellent lectures, discussions, and visits from these distinguished guests.

A pilot grant through UNC Academy of Educators to Muneera Kapadia, MD, MME and Co-PI Priyanka Rao, MD (Pediatrics), will allow us to develop a communication bootcamp for 4th year medical students focusing on advanced patient-related communication skills (bad news telling, error disclosure, dealing with the angry patient, etc). We look forward to this coming to fruition!

The 2023 Surgery Bootcamp: Over 2 days, UNC Medical Students, matching in surgical specialties, refined their skillsets on some basic procedures that they will likely encounter during the first year of residency.

In order to stimulate interprofessional collaboration, some sessions were combined with the Anesthesia Bootcamp.

Kudos and thanks to all involved!
